Welcome

July 23, 2009

I just couldn't resist not joining in Karen's blog party "Where Bloggers Create". What a wonderful way to take a peak into fellow blogger's studios and see where they nurture their soul by creating.

So glad that you stopped by to see where I create...

We finished our downstairs about a year ago and added this creative nook just for me. I so enjoy spending as much time here as possible. The table is long enough that my kids can also set at it and create with me.

It is a place that I come to get away from it all. Where I get my hands dirty, my heart nurtured and inspiration is just a click away.

I surround myself with things I love and that inspire me. By keeping some lovely treasures out on my desk it encourages me to play.

You can find roosters and chickens spread throughout my studio.

Cards to inspire and mean so much... Lace and goodies in jars so I can easily see them.

Lovely flowers and button cards sitting out just waiting to be used.

And of course, no studio would be complete without glitter.

In the hallway, I combined 3 vintage drawers and hung them on end and filled them with family photos, cherished artwork and inspirational pieces just waiting to be added to my artwork.
These are not only functional but they are art that changes as I use the treasures that I have collected and add more treasures as I find them.

I hope you enjoyed taking a peak into my studio; a place that relaxes me, nurtures my need to create and sooths my soul. I can't wait to visit other bloggers creative spaces... hope you come with me!

Hi Sheila!One of your Silver Bella sisters here popping in for the party!You had me at the first picture...I love your creative space! The yellow walls are so delightful and all of those yummy trims everywhere...{sigh}Can I come play???? ;)I enjoyed my visit here girl...I can't wait to meet you in November!

Love the rich colors of your wonderful and artful space. I agree, no space is complete without glitter! I used some old glass flavoring bottles I found at a flea market to house my glitter. Funny thing is that after I cleaned and filled the bottles and go to use the glitter I get whiffs of vanilla, butter rum, etc. I think i may have inadvertently invented aroma glitter. Thanks for sharing your space and have a wonderful weekend!

I love it Sheila!! Those glitter shakers are fabulous!! I have a cream colored shelf that is empty(you can see it in the big space pic)You have inspired me to find some old shakers to fill with all my glitter!! Love it!! Thanks for sharing!! Hugs!Ali

What a happy place in which to create!! I didn't get my studio pulled together quite enough to photograph for today's event, but I will be hosting a Christmas in July giveaway on my blog tomorrow (Sat), if you'd like to stop by!:)~Becca~

Hi! Love your place.. It looks warm and special.. So many lovely things. Love all the ways you organized and put things together. Love the old with the newer stuff. Thank you for sharing. Keep Creating!

Hi Sheila! What a perfectly fabulous studio you have. i absolutely love the idea of lace in a big jar. ( I might have to steal that idea) And the vintage drawers as shelves is a terrific idea. Thank you so much for playing with us today. Have a wonderful time checking out all the other creative spaces!

I love all these cases filled with vintage treasures! They must give you an inspiration shot every time you look at them! Nice to meet you, hope you have a lovely day getting inspired at all those studios participating!

Your 'glitter shakers' are fantastic! That is the first time I've seen them used in that manner -- how could I ever put salt in a shaker AGAIN after viewing that stunning array of colors? What a beautifully creative space you live in! It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance at this lovely event; please do stop by for a visit soon!

Love your vibrant, enchanting space. A girl can never have enough glitter and I so love that you store it in salt shakers. How inventive. I think it's a must that artist surround themselves with what they love. Thank you for sharing your wonderful, imaginative creative space.

What a wonderful space! I totally love the glitter in the shakers! I must do that. :0) Everything you have created is so magical and has such meaning. I know you really enjoy being there whenever you can.

Thanks so much for sharing your space with me.

Please drop by to visit me and my "studio in progress"...I've just recently moved to our Smoky Mountain home and it's a blissful MESS right now due to so much remodeling going on! But I do have plan for this mess...LOL

What a workspace. I wish I had somewhere that big to work from. I still have so much work to do in mine. I read down to some of your other posts and I just got a 35mm last feb. and I love it but still not sure how to use all the features. Can't stop clicking away at everything.xo,Carole

It's adorable, sweet chick! I love the sunny yellow walls and all your craft stuff. It's taking me a while to view all the "where bloggers create" party but I'm not giving up yet.........Come visit and giggle with me......xoxo,Connie

I've seen several creative spaces with glitter in the salt shakers and I have to say that each time I think that is the coolest thing ever! What a great space you have!I've enjoyed the tour!bunny hugs,shell
